"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A striking Picture-A Revival of Old :
Time simpiicitIes.

10 one of Harper's issues is given a
very fine illustration of Roberts celsbrat
ed painting known as "Doctoring Old
Time" 1t represents typical old>timer,
with his bellows, blowing the dust from
an ancient clock, with its cords and
weights carefully secured. One of these
clocks in this generation is appreciated
only as rare relic.
The suggestive name. "Doetoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another YER
sion of the title, used for another pur>
pose-''Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source,
that one of the enterprising proprietary
medicine firms of the country has been
for years investigating the formulas and
medical preparations used in the begin
ming of this century, and even before,
with view of ascertaining why people
in our great>grandfathers' time, enjoyed
health and physical vigor so seldom
found in the present generation. They
now think they have secured the secret or
secrets. They find that the prevailing
opinion that then existed, that IN ,ture
has remedy for every existing disorder"
was true, and acting under this belief, our
grandparents used the common herbs aud
plants. Continual trespass upon the for
est domain, has made these herbs less
abundant. and has driven them further
from civilization, until they have been
discarded, as remedial agents because of
the difficulty of obtaining them.
Ii. II. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder of the Warner ob
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been
pressing Investigations in this direction,
into the annals of old family histories,
until he has secured some very valuable
formulas, from which his finn is now pre-
pairing medicines, to be sold by all drug
gists.
They will, we learn. be known under
the general title of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies" Among these medicines
will be "Sarsaparilla, for the blood and
liver, Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Rem
edy," for the stomach. etc. LOG -abin
Cough and Consumption Remedy" a
remedy called "Scalpine, for the hair,
Log Cabin Extract, for internal and ex
ternal use, and an old valuable discovery
for CataIrh, called Log Cabin Rose
Cream" Among the list is also Log
Cabin Plaster" and log Cabin Liver
| Pill"
| From the number of remedies, it will
be seen that they do not propose to cure
all diseases with one preparation. 1t is
believed by many that with these RENE,
dies new era is to dawn upon suffering
humanity, and that the close of the nine
teenth century will see these roots and
herbs, AS compounded under the title of
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, as popu,
lar as they were at its beginning, Al.
though they come in the form of proprie'
tary medicines, yet they will be none the
less welcome, for suffering humanity has
become tired of moGern doctoriug and
the public has great confidence in any
remedies put up by the firm of which
II. II. Warner is the head. The people
have become suspicious of the effects oil
doctoring with poisonous drugs Few
realize the injurious effects following
the prescriptions of many modern physi
cans These effects of poisonous drugs
already prominent, will become NOR
pronounced in coming generations
Therefore We can cordially visa the Ole
fashioned new remedies the best of sue
